The Recordings

NADA is fully compatible in sound and quality with Eduardo Tarilonte’s other libraries. It was recorded at the Eldana Studio in Spain by Jorge Calderón Muriel using the same high-end equipment (Kahayan Mic 4K7 and 12K72 Preamp). The instruments were closely mic’d to capture every nuance and deliver a flexible, direct sound ideal for editing and mixing.
